I just have bought a nec 3500 with firmware v2.16 Does this firmware support riplock, dl & sl bitsetting with the as much as possible best writing quality? Something i have heard that the latest firmware is the v2C8SE. Does this firmware do what i want?

THE ABOVE CONNECTORS IS THESE THAT THE MOTHERBOARD CONTROL. IDE 3 PRIMARY -> NEC 3500 THIS DEVICE IS UNDER CONTROL OF THE ITE IT8212 ATA RAID CONTROLLER Also from the BIOS i choose to function as ATA and not as RAID. Also the full Identified name of my nec 3500 is:

_NEC DVD_RW ND-3500AG SCSI CdRom Device as i know the nec 3500 is a scsi device. Does here have any relation with the above controller (ITE IT8212 ATA RAID CONTROLLER).
